As mission systems increasingly extend beyond centralized data centers to the tactical edge, achieving target-level zero trust becomes increasingly complex. Edge environments—ranging from forward-deployed units to IoT-enabled platforms and disconnected or intermittently connected systems—introduce unique constraints around latency, bandwidth, and physical security. These conditions demand that Zero Trust principles be enforced as close to the point of data generation and decision-making as possible. Agencies must extend same protections used in the core and cloud to the tactical edge to enable identity verification, continuous monitoring, and policy enforcement.
Attend this session to about the best practices for achieving Target-Level Zero Trust at the edge. The speaker will outline the top 5 tips for developing a repeatable framework to accelerate adoption.
